Having problems with your Euro-Pro S3325 Handheld Steam Vacuum ?

Shark Steamer model S3325 will not power on; switch appears to be working but will not indicate on and will not heat tank. I can hear it try to start the heating element (secondary clicks) however, does not seem to work.

Answers :

There's a thermal fuse inside. If it gets too hot, the fuse will blow and the thing won't turn on.\015\012\015\012It has a 216 C temp limit. You can find thermal fuses at radio shack for less than 5$. If you're adventurous enough, you can find the fuse in line of a white wire under a fiberglass outer and heat shrink inner shielding screwed against the bottom of the tank.

Altrev,
I have an ODC325 Black&Decker spacemaker coffeemaker on my boat and it stopped working this weekend although the hot plate still gets hot. I suspect it is the thermal switch as you described (I hear a click when I switch the machine on but nothing happens and the heating element does not kick in). I would be very happy to receive one or two of these 14 spare switches you mention so I can repair the unit. If still available I would appreciate hearing from you how we can do the transact

We don't sell parts individually on the site here.... was it some other solution for another person you saw about the switch? I don't believe there really is a part called a thermal switch... there is a thermal fuse but if the hotplate gets hot I wo ...

DZ9080 IRON IS NOT VERY OLD, BUT HAS HEATING AND STEAMING PROBLEMS. IT MAY BE ALL HEATING RELATED! MY WIFE WILL SOMETIMES JUST LEAVE IT "ON" FOR TWO HOURS AND THEN IT WILL START STEAMING AGAIN. I CANNOT MAKE SENSE OF THE HEATING INDICATORS; SOMETIMES IT WILL STAY GREEN NO MATTER WHERE YOU SET THE DIAL ---- AND IT DOES NOT FEEL HOT! WHEN I TRIED IT AGAIN TODAY, THE SHOT-OF-STEAM WORKED FOR A WHILE (AND THE SPRAY WORKED), BUT THEN ALL IT WOULD DO IS DRIP WATER AT THE TIP WHEN TIPPED DOWNWARD.

I couldn't find any warranty information on this iron, but I suspect that the heating element either has a faulty connection or part of it has cracked, making contact at time, but poor contact at other times. The unit will have to be taken apart an ...

Lost suction Been using hoover steamvac today, worked great for the fist 2 hours, got ready to start back at it, and it has lost suction, have tried and tried the water tank repositioning, and nothing seems to work.

My Kirby 2HD has started making an odd roaring noise but still works fine. I have taken the front assembly off and cleaned and adjusted the roller and checked the belt. The noise seems to come from the motor housing. I have tried to wiggle the main shaft at the front (bearings?) and it seems tight. Can't seem to get the other housings apart. Any ideas? Thanks, John

It is quite possible, it just needs lubed. The motor comes in direct contact with dirt so, you have to make sure the front bearing has a drop of oil on it from time to time. If it starts to scream at you within one month, after oiling, the bearing ...

Bad Motor? I have an upright Electrolux Prolux Heavy Duty "Appareil Industriel" and the motor does not seem to be working and turning the brush.

The vacuum won't start. I used it for about an hour and then turned it off and when I went to turn it back on ..there was no response. I cleaned every compartment on the machine and it's still not working. I also tried using a different outlet in the house. I've waited 24 hours thinking maybe it might have been just the vacuum over heating, but it's still not working.

Sharp R-1480. Microwave would not start - jarred door, and it heated and worked. Replaced bottom of the 3 inter-lock door switches. Turns back on - all seems normal. No heat (it does overall sound louder).
Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,It sounds like you have a magnetron problem now or at very least a rectifier that is shorted. The elevated sound level comes from one of those two components. But since you had a door switch problem I would lean toward ...

It was made in 5/2009 & bought in July of 2010 brand new. it worked perfect til last week. i put something in it & it started to make a loud humming/vibrating noise. i assumed it was just something ontop of the microwaved & ignored it. 1 min later my food was still ice cold. we tried unplugging & plugging back in & made sure that it was clear of anything but it still makes noise & doesn't heat. GE charges $79 to look at it, & since the microwa

Unit not working to heat water--cant hear compressor starting up like normal

Did you make sure that it was closed all the way? Sometimes if the water canister is not on all the way it can cause this. And depending on how old the steemer is maybe that part went out. But I would check all the lines to make sure nothing is clogg ...

My Hoover T5703 has suddenly stopped working. I was using it, moved it to another room, presssed the start with my foot - and nothing! I have checked that the fuse and electricity socket are both OK.I did knock it over a while ago and am wondering if I have broken a bit of plastic in the foot starter. It doesn't seem to 'click' as firmly as it did, but I cannot see how to take it off to check?

I was vacuuming and noticed that the bag needed changing. the red light with the ! inside the triangle also came on. When the bag was changed, the vacuum would not restart. The red light came on. Tried the reset button but nothing happened. Tried unplugging and re-plugging in and nothing happened. Replaced all the filters and still it wouldh't start. So I brought it downstairs and tried one more time to get it to start. it worked! Is there something wrong with the vacuum cleaner? Was it overheat

On/off switch we have two of these vacuums at work, and both of there on/off switches dont work too well. its hard to explain, but when u normally turn it on or off theres a little resistance in the switch and you hear a click, with both of ours the switch moves freely back and forth from on to off, no resisntace, no click, and the machine doesnt stay on, or off for that matter. the switch just moves back and forth.

The steam mop doesn't seem to be "steaming"...even though I leave it on long enough to heat up. I can hear the steam but it doesn't seem to heat the pad

I just used my Bissell Proheat, when I heard the vacuum sound get lower and lower then suddenly something "gave" and it got very loud and started emitting a burnt rubber smell. It still worked to put liquid into the carpet; seemed to have trouble getting it out. I checked the tank, filters, belt, and roller and all seemed OK - but when I started up again and looked down I saw sparks in the motor/belt area and shut it down immediately. Any thoughts?

The bearing that is located at the top of the vacuum motor has failed . Because of that the shaft of the motor's rotor is out of position and the pulley attached to it has started rubbing on the other pulleys, giving you that smell. the spark appear ...

It starting to put out a hot type smell. I have tried cleaning the filters real well and even tried to see if there was problem with the ozone filter. We have checked and could not find a jam. I know the hose has excellent suction. The vacumn works but the intelliclean sensors will not. It only takes about 15 seconds or so for the odor to start. Then it gets real strong and it makes my eyes water

My Dyson animal seems to have an electrical issue that I am unable to pinpoint. Neither the wand nor the floor vac have any suction AT ALL. In fact the vac makes absolutely no sound and you wouldn't even know that it had power to it unless the rollers are turned on, the rollers work just fine. I had this problem start about a month ago and then it just started working again after messing with it for a while, now it has happened again and I am getting a little agitated! Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a filter inside the canister, and by your description it sounds like it needs to be cleaned. if you remove the filter and blow it out using a air compressor or using a slightly ridged brush and tapping the filter out this should solve your ...

Do I need a new battery or is it just worn out.
